5 Simple Business Ideas You Can Start Today!

We all dream of being our own boss at one time or another. The thing is, many people don’t follow up on their ideas and end up working for somebody else the rest of their lives. Working for yourself doesn’t need to be difficult. You can dip your toe into all kinds of businesses before settling on one that you love and want to stick with. The following 5 business ideas could be started today:

Tutoring

If you have a passion about a certain subject, then you could make some money on the side offering your services as a tutor. You’ll need an extensive knowledge on the subject you plan to teach, and you’ll also need to be passionate about it for this to work. Your students will learn much better if your passion shines through in your teachings. You’ll need other skills too, such as listening, compassion, and the ability to respect other people’s homes. Your students will need to trust you and get along with you, so make sure you’re giving off the right impression.

Freelance Writer

Becoming a freelance writer is very simple if you have the skills. Do you feel passionate about the written word? Do you have a penchant for spelling and grammar? If so, becoming a freelance writer could be the perfect option. You can advertise your services on sites like PeoplePerHour, or set up on Copify to get started. If you’re lucky, you might eventually find a company who wants to hire out your services permanently! You’ll then still be able to set your own hours and pretty much do your own thing, you’ll just get regular work and won’t have to ‘hustle’ as much. You could even begin writing eBooks to sell them on the Kindle Store.

E Commerce Store

You can sell almost anything with the help of an e-commerce store. Are you creative? If so you could design/make things and sell them on your store. If you’re not all that imaginative, you could always buy items wholesale and sell them on. There’s no limit to the things you can do when you start an online store like this. Once you’re up and running, you can even increase profits with software and analytics. It’s all quite simple and can be done in no time!

Catering

If you love working with food and helping to plan events, you could become a caterer. Catering for small events will be fairly easy; you can make all of the food right from your kitchen before transporting everything to a venue. When you get popular, you can even rent out a larger kitchen so you can cater for big events. You’ll then find staff, and so your business will grow!

Dog Walking

People always need help with pets, as we’re all so busy these days. If you’re good with pets, offer your dog walking skills to owners in the area. This can be great if they need to get some extra work done or take some time to themselves, and their dog will still get the exercise and attention it deserves.
